Reducing Health Disparities

A new infographic roadmap
from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) illustrates a 6-step framework
that integrates reducing disparities into all health care quality improvement
efforts. The framework is designed to be flexible: organizations can get on the
road where appropriate. Its goal is to support a thoughtful and comprehensive
approach to achieving equity, even though the causes of disparities may vary
across regions or patient populations.
